Beschreibung

“Thunder and Myth” explores the global phenomenon of thunder, examining its cultural significance across diverse societies. It delves into how ancient cultures, from Norse mythology's Thor to Japan's Raijin, interpreted thunder as divine communication or powerful omens. This interdisciplinary study blends history, earth sciences, and cultural studies to reveal how these myths reflect humanity's quest to understand and assign meaning to natural events. The book uniquely contrasts scientific explanations with mythological interpretations, offering a deeper understanding of varying worldviews, while highlighting the enduring human tendency to seek order in the natural world.

 
The book is structured in three parts, starting with scientific foundations and common mythological themes. It then provides in-depth analyses of specific cultures and their thunder myths, considering geographical and social contexts. Finally, the book explores interdisciplinary connections, such as the influence of myths on art and the link between lightning-prone areas and potent thunder deities.

 
Understanding these myths can also inform modern environmental awareness, underscoring the importance of cultural context in responding to natural hazards.

    A violinist sees a scarlet form when he plays a certain note; a rock star sees waves of blue and green as he composes a ballad; an actress tastes cake when she utters the word "table." Described by some as a superpower this mingling of the senses is called "synesthesia," and the people who possess this amazing gift are called "synesthetes." 
     
     
      
    What happens when a journalist turns her lens on a mystery happening in her own life? Maureen Seaberg did just that and lived for a year exploring her synesthesia. The wondrous brain trait is often described as blended senses, but for Maureen, synesthesia is not an idle "brain tick" that can be explained away by science (although it does offer some important clues). It is a unique ability to tap into and reveal a greater creative universe and even the divine. 
     
     
     
    Join her as she visits top neuroscientists, rock stars, violinists, other synesthetes, philosophers, savants, quantum physicists, and even Tibetan lamas in her journey toward the truth. 
     
     
     
    Step into Maureen's shimmering alternate universe as she explores this fascinating subject, combining clear explanations of groundbreaking scientific research with an exploration of deeper understanding of our senses.

    Do good guys finish last? Did we evolve to look out for number one? Are we bad by nature? At first glance, the theory of evolution seems to imply that all organisms are evolved to be selfish. 
     
     
     
    In this book, evolutionary psychologist Dennis Krebs explains how virtuous behaviors such as altruism, justice, honesty, loyalty, self-control, purity, and respect for authority, have evolved in humans and other species. He argues that the key to solving puzzles of morality—such as what it is, how we acquire moral traits, why we sometimes behave badly, and how we make moral decisions—lies in figuring out what adaptive functions moral traits served in early human environments and how they are influenced by social learning, culture, and strategic social interactions in the modern world. Arguing that the primary function of virtuous behaviors is to enable individuals to advance their own interests and examining the moral decision-making mechanisms that evolved to serve these functions, this book considers the "new brain" mechanisms that are unique to humans and "old brain" mechanisms that we share with other species, illuminating how these work in conjunction with each other to guide our moral choices.
